About the Author

Stefan B�umer studied physics at the University of Bonn, Germany, and Washington State University, where he received his Master of Science degree in 1988. He subsequently returned to Germany to finish his Ph.D. degree at the Institute of Optics of the Technical University Berlin in 1995. Since then he has been working in several positions for Philips in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Dr. B�umer currently holds the post of senior optical systems designer at Philips Applied Technologies. His work focuses on optical systems design with a specialization in plastic optics, involving close cooperation with injection molding companies.

Review

"The reader of this book will learn about the chemistry, mechanical properties, processing technologies
and applications of plastic optics - as well as being tutored on cost analysis. All this in less than 300
pages would be hard to believe without seeing but it is here. The editor and authors are to be congratulated on their achievement." (Contemporary Physics Book Reviews, 25 August 2011)
